Hey, MsKitty, I saw AC/DC way back in 1983...ewww, that's a long time ago! Even then they were not really my favourite music, but it's amazing the things you'll do for your friends, like go to concerts to see a band you normally wouldn't bother about going to see! Not sure when my hearing fully returned...we were very near the cannons on the stage!

Hey, I saw Brian Johnson (singer of AC/DC) when he was still a Brit & singing with a band called Geordie. Now that's what I call old. I even bought their first single (45 - 7" vinyl for those too young to know what singles were.)

They have a totallly primtive sound and your whole body is like vibrating! Lynsay, you need to totally listen to some of their work when writing your Scot Historicals!

So last night, while I was working, I found myself spending a while with some old familiar music I used to hear on the radio while I was growing up. Trooper, BTO (Bachman–Turner Overdrive), Martha and the Muffins, Simon and Garfunkel, Sweeney Todd, Steppenwolf, and a bunch of others, when I came upon one I hadn't listened to for a long time that really energized me "Magic Power" by Triumph. It still has the magic.

That song recalled to my mind a time when a teenage boy lived for girls, cars, and his stereo. He didn't care if his car was a junker as long as it was lined with shag carpet, had fuzzy dice hanging from the rearview mirror,and a killer stereo system (either 8-track or cassette). My older brother fit that mold perfectly; me, not so much. Still, it was the world I grew up in and I experienced it through my brother's eyes and remember it fondly.
